This panel discussion will focus on the identity of Galileo the man, the scientist, and the character that Brecht created. The panel features Tim McKay (U-M Physics), Martin Walsh (the Residential College faculty member who plays Galileo in this production, and a Brecht scholar), and Fred Peters (the Residental College faculty member who teaches a course on Galileo in the philosophy program in the RC).
